Westfarthing Businessman with Vitality Uruk-Hai
« on: June 28, 2008, 03:59:45 PM »
OK, first off I flirted with a Westfarthing Businessman deck once and it looked good but I was missing something and not sure what it was. Here is my new idea for it with a way to help the shadow out some. I paired it with a pretty lethal Uruk-hai deck using Final Triumph. Let me know what you think of both and if you have any ideas on what can improve either :up:

Frodo And Ring 
*The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry (7R2
*Frodo, Protected by Many (11S164

 
Sites 
(0) Anduin River (15U187
(0) Gates of Mordor (15S191) 
(1) Morannon Plains (18U137
(1) Steward's Tomb (18U139
(1) Rohan Uplands (11S257
(2) Helm's Gate (11S245
(2) Osgiliath Reclaimed (11S252
(3) Mount Doom (15R193
(3) Heights of Isengard (11U244

 
Fellowship (35) 
1x *Gandalf's Staff, Ash Staff (11R34
1x *Phial of Galadriel, The Light of Earendil(13155) 
3x *Gandalf, Returned (17R17
1x *Sam, Great Elf Warrior (10P122
4x Westfarthing Businessman (13C157
2x *A Light in his Mind (10U108
2x *Brooding On Tomorrow (10U15
2x *Faith in Friendship (13C147
2x Closer and Closer He Bent (8C109
2x Not the First Halfling (8U18
2x Scouring of the Shire (18R112
4x Sudden Fury (12U132
2x *Alatar, Final Envoy (13U28
1x *Robin Smallburrow, Shirriff Cock-Robin (18U111
1x *Golden Perch Ale (18U108
1x *Tom Bombadil's Hat (0P60
1x Glamdring, Elven Blade (7R39)
3x Hobbit Sword (7C319

 
Shadow (35) 
2x *Fortitude (11U185
3x Deathly Roar (17C113
4x Final Triumph (18R115
4x *Ugluk, Ugly Fellow (15R172
3x *White Hand Marshall (18R127
3x Uruk Village Assassin (15C176
2x Uruk-hai Troop (12R157
4x White Hand Scout (17C130
4x White Hand Veteran (17R135
4x Isengard Siege Bow (11U191
2x Spear of the White Hand (17U117

Strategy:

Freeps:
             Get those token condition out ASAP to get the businessmen at fighting strength. Sam will pump for each hobbit you can spot. I threw in a Closer and Closer he bent to help get the shadow ready to win a bit quicker. With all the muster then Closer and Closer he Bent will trigger the initiative condition quite well (at least I hope so).

Shadow:
              The point is quite obvious, get your huge vitality uruk to the field and play Final Triumph for the overwhelm. Ugluk can exert a comp he is assigned to, Troop is just big in this deck with his 4 vitality. Assassin and Marshall control sites so when you play a scout you can get those needed Final Triumphs back in hand :up:. Fortitude can be used to prevent wounds to your uruk-hai or can help the Uruk Village Assassin do his part. Siege Bow and Spear of the White Hand provide a vitality boost as well. Deathly Roar will help lower the vitality of other companions if they choose to play possessions or artifacts.

Let me know what you think and ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated :up:.

If a Balrog falls from a bridge and noone is around, does it make a sound?

If you start with Sam, Great Elf Warrior and Westfarthing Businessman you are too vulnerable while only a few cards are in play. I suggest to remove Anduin River and to start with Green Dragon Inn.

I feel there should be some form of disclaimer on here mentioning yours truly in the outlay of this deck  :cop:

EDIT: Shirrif Cock-Robin is X'd!

Also if you use Gandalf, Returned you may want to pack Glamdring instead of Ash Staff.

Not sure where you got that info unless there is a more current CDR than the one I have being the one from decipher released in August '07. I just had a look at the x-list from in both standard and expanded and Cock-Robin isn't on it. Unless a more recent CDR is released then he wasn't X'd. If you have a more recent CDR that says he is X'd please post a link :up:.

I meant that Kralik's anti-swear software was X'ing Shirrif Cock-Robin
